Registration

1. Do I have to register my NOOK®?

Officially, no, but we strongly recommend it. If you do not register your NOOK, you will not be able to access any NOOK content or features, such as the NOOK Store®. You will also not be able to redeem a $5 coupon available to Samsung Galaxy® Tab 4 NOOK® customers who register their devices.

A NOOK account, with a default credit card, lets you shop for NOOK Books, magazines, and newspapers. Having a NOOK account also allows you to synchronize your Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK with other NOOK devices and other NOOK Applications you might have, such as NOOK eReader software applications installed on your iPad®, iPod touch®, Android Tablets, PC, Mac or Smartphone (iPhone® or Android phone). You can create a NOOK account by providing an email address and password on NOOK.com. You can also create one directly on your NOOK during the registration process.

You will also be offered the opportunity to sign into or sign up for accounts from Google, Samsung, and Dropbox. These accounts are optional. If you do not set up Google, Samsung, or Dropbox accounts when you first get your NOOK, you can set them up at any time in the future.

The Google account gives you access to the Google Play Store and all other Google applications. Signing up with Google also allows your NOOK to receive and apply NOOK software updates automatically. The Google account is the same as your existing Gmail account.

Connectivity

1. What is Wi-Fi®?

Wi-Fi is a generic term used to describe wireless Internet access. A Wi-Fi enabled device (such as a computer, laptop, mobile phone, or e-reader) can connect wirelessly to the Internet if it is in range of a wireless network. Wi-Fi enabled devices connect to the wireless network through access points (or hotspots). Access points can be public (such as at a library, restaurant or bookstore) or can be private (such as at home, work or school).

Public Wi-Fi access points usually don't require a password, but instead require a user to acknowledge terms of use.

Private Wi-Fi access points are usually password protected. Home Internet connection is usually provided by a cable or telephone company, and the wireless access is provided by a small device called a wireless router that is physically connected to the Internet.

2. Is my NOOK wireless?

Yes, your NOOK has built in Wi-Fi allowing you to connect wirelessly to any Wi-Fi hotspot. Connect to your home Wi-Fi, as well as your office, cafes, airports, hotels, and most other public hotspots. Your local Barnes & Noble bookstore offers free Wi-Fi that your NOOK will connect to automatically.

3. I forgot my Wi-Fi password. What should I do?

Ask your network administrator for help.

4. How do I know what my home network is?

If you have another Wi-Fi enabled device, try looking at its settings to determine which Wi-Fi access point it is connecting to. Once you've determined that, select the same wireless network name from the list provided by NOOK.

5. I don't see my home network on the list. What should I do?

It is possible that your network was set up as a hidden network. To add your network:
